How TikTok Shop fees work in 2026
TikTok Shop keeps things simple on paper: a 6% commission on the sale price plus a $0.30 flat transaction fee per order. There is no listing fee, no monthly subscription for most sellers, and no separate payment-processing surcharge. On a $25 sale that is about $1.80, or roughly 7.2% of revenue; on a $50 sale the flat fee shrinks as a percentage, so your effective rate drops to about 6.6%.
The number the rate card does not show you is the return clawback. When a TikTok Shop order is returned, TikTok deducts its commission on the original sale and the $0.30 transaction fee is non-refundable. With live-commerce return rates running 14–18% in fashion and beauty, your effective fee on the revenue you actually keep is meaningfully higher than the headline 6%.
A worked example
Take a $35 product with $9.00 landed COGS, $4.50 shipping, and $5.00 of ad spend per unit. TikTok takes $2.10 commission + $0.30 = $2.40 in platform fees. After COGS, shipping, and ads, your net profit lands around $13.80 per unit (≈39% margin) — until a return hits. One return erases the profit from roughly 1.3 sales, because the ad spend and shipping on the returned unit are already gone. Model your real return rate and you will see the margin settle closer to the low 20s.
What this calculator doesn't assume for you
Two TikTok-specific costs you should add manually in the Ad Spend field: creator/affiliate commissions (typically 5–20% of the sale price when you run the TikTok Shop affiliate programme) and your real paid-ads cost per unit. A seller paying 6% to TikTok and 15% to a creator is already down 21% of revenue before COGS. Always run the numbers at your true blended cost, not the headline commission.
